To her sister Euphrosine, Madame Jean-Joseph Jouve

February 1, 1818 ~ Mother Duchesne writes to her sister Euphrosine, "In leaving France I carry with me my memories and my love for my dear sisters and their children. You will pray for me, as I for you. At this moment when I am sacrificing all to work for the salvation of souls, I pray ardently that you may all cling to the onethingnecessary. I shall always be closely united to you in the Sacred Heart of Jesus."

About Me

Welcome to the AASH Past President’s Blog! My name is Maureen Elizabeth Ryan and I am a graduate of Barat College - Lake Forest, IL. I served on the Associated Alumnae & Alumni of the Sacred Heart Board since 2003 in many capacities and was elected President, serving from June 1, 2011 - May 31, 2013. I enjoy writing about all things relative to the Society of the Sacred Heart. My Sacred Heart education began in 1979 when I decided as a junior to transfer from a large community college to Barat College in Lake Forest, IL. I fell in love with the rich history and traditions of the college. I have a deep respect for the RSCJ, those who lived in my dorm and those who taught me and the many I have come to know world-wide. Since my graduation in 1981, I served on the BCAA board and the Barat College Board of Trustees. I currently serve on the Barat Education Foundation board and for many years served on the Chicago Women’s District Golf Association. My three loves are gardening, golf and genealogy! I started my genealogy blog in 2016 in dedication to my parents and Irish ancestors - http://mickieandphil.blogspot.com I hope you enjoy the stories and photos!
